Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the blueberries soften, about 5-7 minutes. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, add it to the saucepan, and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Strain the sauce and let it cool.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Bake for about 5 minutes or until golden. Let cool.
- In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add lemon juice, zest, and vanilla, mixing until combined. Gradually add eggs while mixing on low. Avoid overmixing.
- Spoon cheesecake filling into cooled crusts, filling each about three-quarters full. Gently swirl in blueberry sauce.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes, until slightly set with a gentle jiggle. Allow to cool for about 1 hour.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours.
